 Some Indian states have banned the sale of children's sweets

Some states in India have begun banning the sale of "Sweet Camfo" children's candy.

A week ago, the state of Tamil Nadu in the South of the country imposed a ban on the sale of sweets after confirming the presence of the cancer-causing substance Rhodamine-B in it during testing.

Earlier this month, a group in Puducherry region banned the candy while other states started testing its products.

'Sweet Camfo' candy called buddi-ka-baal in Indian which means old woman's hair is popular among children all over the world.

It is found in playgrounds and other places where children are present.

The candy is popular among children because it is like cotton and melts quickly in the mouth.

But some authorities in India say that the risk is greater than expected.

A week ago, the public officials of the National Food Sanitation Board raided the candy sellers on the beach in the city.

Research has shown that the substance Rhodamine-B found in candy increases the risk of cancer and the United Kingdom and California have banned its use in drying food.
